The build quality remains a factor. The PowerEdge server line machines are extremely well made, and use rather high quality components (including high quality cooling). The price to value ratio would be slightly higher than compared to this particular Compaq model.
Both machines are however a good value. The end choice should depends greatly on the individual user's needs, of course. Having personal experience with both lines, I would choose the 400SC over this machine - but again, merely personal preference.
